in a chicken house near bis residence at
Tekoa at an early hour Monday morn
ing. The shot was from a bulldog re
volver and entered the right temple. It

an hour or two after the deed.
His Head Hurt Him.
Mrs. Bi«lop was satisfied that her
husband raicided. The pintol with which
it was done wiih one bought, by him for
her as protection against tramps. No
one except be and herself knew where it
was kept. The lady Rays her husband
wuh some years ago badly injured in a
railroad wreck, and that since that ac
cident he bud often Buffered with severe
pains in his bead. Throughout the
oigtat previous to bin suicide the man
had complained of severe pains. At an
early hour Monday morning Mr*. His
lop was suddenly awakened from a
sound sleep and found her husband
standing beside her bed. He mud noth
ing, however, and she again fell asleep.
She knew nothing more of him until her
finding of bin body Home time later. She
now tbiukH she wan aroueed from sltep
by her husband kissing her.
The dead man was -'57 yearn old and
leaves a widow and one or two children.
He was a member of the A. <). I. W.,
in which he carried an insurance policy!
Coroner Crawford was summoned, but
after viewing the scene and gathering
information from the man's wife and
friends considered the death so evidently
a suicide that the expense of an inquest
was not justifiable, no held none.
Quite a Cow.
Fred I'.rown reports that he bought at
Hay, from I. M. Curtis, for shipment to
Seattle, a cow weighing 1615 pouuds.
This shows a [air quality of bunch grass.
Mr. Brown shipped to Seattle Saturday
morning four cars of U year-old steers
picked up over the country. The ship
ment numbered 89 head of prime beef,
for which a good price was paid. Just
how much the gentleman will not tell.
Cattle buyers say the price will fall be
tween now and Christmas, but their say
so is in a business ray and should be
properly discounted.
Kange Horses Wanted.
\V. I. Wood, representing the firm of
W. I. Wood & Sons, commiHHion mer
chants of Greeneastle, End., is in Haker
City, Oregon, and will purchase, if pos
sible, 2000 head of range horses. He
states that representatives of the Kng
lish government have recently purchased
in the states of Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio 35,000 head of horses for use prin
cipally in South Africa, paying per head
T125 to f 150. The horses to be par
chased by Mr. Wood are to supply the
farmers of these states.
Friday Night Burglary.
Last Friday evening while the family
were attending the public school enter
tainment, burglars entered the residence
of Marion liaker by cutting a screen
and opening a window. After ransack
ing various rooms they departed with
about .*l<> in cash, leaving two gold
nuggets on the Boor, which in their haste
they either lost or purposely threw away
to preveti* a possibility of detection.
From the number of rooms vicited it is
evident that the parties were acquainted
with the premises.
Shipment of Cattle.
Johnston & Johnston shipped to the
Union Meat Company at Portland, Ore
gon, hist Saturday two carloads of ex
traordinarily line 2 year-old steers,
averaging in weight 1150 pounds each.

W. H. Clifford has concluded that he
does not care to appeal from his light
sentence of three years given him last
week by Judge McDonald upon hi* con
viction for larceny of two cars of Joe

tentiary term as soon as possible.

Early Sunday moraing smoke was
seen issuing from the rear of Hamilton's
ilriiir store. An alarm was turned iv

|PDT OUT OF COURT
Town Councils Cannot liring
Mandamus Cases.
Hitch Between the Council and the
Mayor of the City of
Farmington.
The town council of Farmiogton, com
posed of F. J. Hay field, Joseph Schnurr,
C. R. Evans, J. H. Taylor and C. A.
Peairn, has hud a little trouble as to a
matter of public policy with M. \V. Bel
shaw, mayor of the town. The matter
came up as a mandamus case before
Judge McDonald in the superior court
Monday, when Mayor Belshaw came off
victorious and the council was turned
out of court.
The trouble arose over the council, by
unanimous vote, agreeing to purchase
from Hutchinsou Bros, for $220 a build
ing standing at the west end of Main
street in Farmington, in order that the
street might be extended. Mayor Bel
shaw refnsed to approve the deal and
would not sign the town warrant for
payment for the property.
The council, as a public body, brought
an action in mandamus to compel him
to sign the warrant. The matter was
argued Monday afternoon, E. K. Hanna
for Mr. Belshaw and \V. J. Bryant of
Colfax and .1. 1). Leuty of Farmington
for the council. The defense asserted
that the council was not the eligible
party to bring the proceeding, and that
Hutchinson Bros., as the only party
aggrieved, if anyone was so, were the
only ones who could properly do so.
The relators argued that the council had
a public interest and right to bring the
action; but the court turned them down
and threw the matter out of court. It
is not known whether the case will be
carried further.

Bribery AVith Office.
The Walla Walla Union notes that
Lillis F. Smith of Endicott, Whitman
county, is being mentioned as a candi
date for nt;ite treasurer on the demo
cratic ticket. Mr. Smith is iv the hands
of the friends of Rogers and it is hoped
by thin move to offset the opposition to
Rogers by Treasurer Young, who admires
Rogers about as much as a frog admires
a crocodile. In Whitman county it is gen
erally understood that Mr. Smith has
deserted the democracy, and if the Rogers
people are attempting to buy him back
with nn office, they have tried bribery on
the wrong man.

M»Jur March's Men Think They
Killed or Wounded Him.
Vifcan, Lozon, via Mauila, ,lune 3 —
Major March, with bis detachcueut of
the rhirtvtbird. overtook wh«r ia be
lieved to have been Agoioaldo'a party
on May- 19 at Lagat, about IOC milt's
northeast of Vigan. The Americana
Killed or wounded an officer, Roppoaed
to be Aguinaldo, whose body was re
moved by his followers. Aguiaaldo hud
l<»0 men, Major March 1 1>.~>, the Ameri
can commander reaching L>i Boagan,
where Aguinaldo had made his head'
quarters Kinee March 6, on May 7.
Againaldo had tied neven hours before,
leaving all the beaten trails mid travel
ing through the forest along the bed* of
streams. Toward evening. Hay 19,
Major March struck Agnioaldo'tj out-
Ppst, nbout a mile outside of Lagat,
killing four Filipinos and capturing two
From the latter he. learned that Aguia
aldo had camped there for the night.
Although exhausted and half starved,
Major March's men entered Lugat on
the run. They saw the insurgents scat
tering into the bushes or over the
plateau. A thousand yards beyond the
town, on the mountain side, the figures
of 25 Filipinos dressed in white, with
their leader on a gray horse, were
silhouetted against the sunset. The Am
ericans fired a volley and saw the of
ficer drop from his horse. His follow
ers tied, carrying the body. The Ameri
cans, on reaching the spot, caught, the
horse, which was richly saddled. Blood
from a badly wounded man was on the
animal and on the ground. The saddle
bags contained Aguinaldo's diary and
some private papers, including procla
mations. One of these was addressed
"To the civilized natious." It protested
against the American occupation of the
Philippines. There was also found
copies of Senator Beveridge's speech
translated into Spanish and entitled
"The Death Knell of the Filipino Peo
ple."
Major March, believing that the Fili
pinos had taken to a river which is a
tributary to the Chico, followed it for
two days, reaching Tiao, where he learn
ed that a party of Filipinos had de?c nded
the river May 20 on a raft with the body
of a dead or wounded man upon a litter,
covered with palm leaves. There Major
March reviewed his command, shoeless
and exhausted, and picked out 24 of the
freshest men, with whom he beat the
surrounding country for six days longer,
but without finding any traceof the in
surgents. The Americans pushed on
and arrived at Aparri May 21).
The olficer shot was either Aguinaldo
or his adjutant, and as the horse was
richly caparisoned, it is a fair presump
tion that it was Aguinaldo.
Spies heralded the approach of Major
March with signal fires. On reaching
La Boagan he apprehended a letter in
AguinalJo's handwriting, the iuk of
which was hardly dry, addre^ed to an
officer of guerrillas of the Filipino army,
and saying:
"There having arrived this morning
at La Boagan a hostile column from
Bokoc. I have set out with all my force.
My road has no destination." This was
signed "Colonel David," a sobriquet.
REPUBLICANS OF IS.>«.
Invited to Meet With the Conven-
tion at Philadelphia.
Washington, June -'{.—The suggestion
adopted by the committee in charge of
the republican national convention that
the survivors of the first national gath
ering of republicans held at Pittsbarg
on February 22, 1856, and later at the
convention held at Philadelphia June
18, of the same year, be especially hon
ored with invitations to this year's con
vention, came from William Paul Wey
land of Pittnburg. The idea met the
approval of Senator ilanna, who has
sent the following to each surviving dele
gate:
"The republican national convention pre
sents its compliments and congratulations to
you, aa one of the few republicans now living
who participated in the republican convention
of 1856 at Pittsburg and Philadelphia, aad on
behalf of the delegates to the coming conven
tion extende to you and your surviving asso
ciates in those historic conventions a cordial
invitation to be present at and occupy a seat
upon the platform of the convention, which
meets on the 19th day of June, 1900, in the
city of Philadelphia.
"Nearly half a century has clap-cd eince
you participated in laying the foundation of
the republican party; you have witnessed its
magnificent growth from a popular vote of
1,342,204 and 114 electoral votes, cast for Fre
mont in 1850, to a popular vote of 7,104,779
and 221 electoral votes for McKinley in 1890,
and therefore the republicans of today, pro
foundly appreciating the work of yourself and
other pioneers of our party, will feel honored
by your distinguished presence, and we assure
you a most cordial welcome.
"With consideration of high esteem. Very
truly yours,
"M. A. Hanna, Chairman.
"Charles Dick, Secretary."
So far as known there are only four
teen survivors. Twenty-seven states
and territories were represented at the
mass meeting, and at the national con
vention June 18, 1856, held in Phila
delphia. Old Lafayette hall, where the
mass convention was held, is now de
molished. Horace Greeley made one of
his famous speeches, and advised that
the convention be held later to nominate
candidates for president and vice presi
dent. His advice was followed and the
first republican convention waa held in
Philadelphia June 18, 185 G.
This year's convention will be held in
the same city forty-four years later.
